Justin Martyr, First Apology 35

Christ was born to set the rest of humanity free, but only when He had fully become a man; and that has now come to pass, as the earlier passages show. Here they are: "A child has been born to us, and a son has been given to us, whose rule rests upon his shoulders" (Isaiah). This is a sign of the power of the cross, upon which He bore the weight of that rule when He was crucified, as will be made even clearer in the dawning of the Word. Again the same prophet Isaiah, carried by the prophetic Spirit, declares: "I stretched out my hands all day long to a disobedient and contrary people, to those who walk in a way that is not good. They now demand judgment and dare to draw near to God" (Isaiah). And once more, through another prophet, He says: "They pierced my hands and my feet, and cast lots for my clothing" (Isaiah). David, the king and prophet who spoke these words, suffered none of them; but Jesus Christ was put to the test regarding His hands, crucified by the Jews who denied Him and claimed He was not the Christ. Just as the prophet foretold, they dragged Him before the judgment seat and said, "Judge us" (Isaiah). The words "They pierced my hands and feet" explain the nails driven through His hands and feet on the cross. After they crucified Him, they cast lots for His clothing and divided it among themselves, the very ones who crucified Him. That these things happened you can verify from the official records made under Pontius Pilate. And since it was explicitly prophesied that He would mount a donkey's colt and enter Jerusalem, we will cite the words of another prophet, Zechariah: "Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout aloud, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden" (Zechariah).
